Patchogue-Medford alum Marcus Stroman will start the American League Wild Card game for the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

“I couldn’t be happier,” he told MLB.com. “I couldn’t be prouder and I couldn’t be more excited to be out there in a deciding game to put us in the playoffs. So I relish this opportunity and I can’t wait.”

Stroman, who was inducted to the Patchogue-Medford Hall of Fame in the summer, was 9-10 with a 4.37 ERA in the regular season.
